Traditional Tabouli Salad Recipe

Traditional Lebanese tabouli (or tabbouleh) has little bulgar included. Bulgar, for those that don’t know, are the groats (hulled grains) of various wheat species – most often durum.

Unlike some tabouli recipes that feature the grains or make use of other grains like quinoa or farro, this recipe is mostly fresh herbs, tomato and scallions.

This is an excellent recipe to complement a menu of hummus, babaganoush, tzatziki and basmati rice. Serve with falafel, thinly sliced lamb, or just pile on pita bread. For a nice crunchy bite, try scooping up spoonfuls with young, crisp romaine lettuce leaves.
